“I did for the fun of it”

“Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.”

“As soon as we left the ground, I knew I had to fly.”

“There is no doubt that the last hour of any flight is the hardest. If there are any clouds about to make shadows one is likely to see much imaginary land. . . . As I approached shore I strained my eyes to see something recognizable, and there was nothing. However, I noticed a low place in the hills, and I thought, like the bear, I would go over the mountains to see what I could see.”

“Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others.”

“I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.”

“the stars seemed near enough to touch and never before have i seen so many.i always believed the lure of flying is the lure of beauty, but i was sure of it that night.”
